Summary:
"It's a queer business, making oneself blind."
The main character who called Orrec is from Uplands. The land is poor, but the families who live there have superpower -- to summon animals, a limb, or chain a mind. And, we called it gifts.
Orrec family's gift is to undo, unmake, destroy, by using their eyes. However, Orrec's gift is a wild, uncontrollable one. That means he could not control it carefully and might easily kill things he don't want to, or even kill the person he love.
